There will be NO deposit money required up front, just your word in print that you will be purchasing the intake when the production pieces are ready. Prior to any payment and shipping the production intakes, I will be happy to have Garm (or other member) come out for an official dyno test to illustrate the gains. For this intake to be produced, we need to have 10 buyers. If we get 20 buyers, we can talk about a group buy which would knock off $50 per manifold.
im sure there are 20 people right now who want one one. if we had 40 people whats the discount then???

I know of Richard from my mustang days, you can believe what he says but, pics of the actual product might help sway some thinking about it.

Since we don't even have 10 people willing to put their name on a list as of yet-I think it is a little premature to talk about group buys for 40. Also, the photo issue has already been addressed-only a prototype exists and it does not represent the production piece. Here is a photo of the production Nissan Versa intake-the yaris intake will feature a head flange, runners and a common plenum with a throttle body mount,but it will look nothin glike this one nor will it look like the prototype used for testing. There will be no photos of the prototype intake-only if and when the production piece is ready to display (much earlier than the full production run if we get the requistite number of yaris owner to indicate they intend to purchase if and only if we provide the following things: 1. an intake that bolts on a provides the power gains illustrated by the power graph, accepts the stock throtle body and associated lines and fittings and runs with no CELs at a price of $699). Since I am asking for no money up front, only an indication to purchase if these requirements are met. Please let me know if there is sufficient interest or if we should move on to a different application..

Air fuel is the same as stock intake since this motor has a mass air meter.

Any A/F readings taken?

People on this forums buy F/I kits that produce similar power and spend tons more.

Just because you don't believe the words of this master, doesn't make it false.

He probably doesn't post a picture, because like just about everyone else in this world, if he posts the prototype picture, everyone'll expect that. Or have some kind of misguided opinion of the product. When the final one arrives, and isn't what people expected, even though that isn't what was even promised, people'll complain. Its what happens.

And because you think that you need pictures, doesn't mean the rest of us do. Don't speak for the rest of us.

If the prototype doesn't look like the functional production piece, would it still work the same and put out similar dyno numbers?

Showing us a Nissan Versa manifold doesn't do much for me; it has less in common to an actual production Yaris manifold than a prototype Yaris manifold.

Question,
Any chance the Yaris intake will fit the Xb? since you're asking for 10 owners I assume you don't think it will. Because of the throttle or because of the engine bay room ?

Thanks.

The gains would be similar for the easrly Xb since they share the same motor. We could do a run of intakes fo rthe early Xb as well (since much would be shared with yaris design), but like the yaris, we would need 10 early Xb owners to sign up to justify the production run.

Might also be able to do an adapter plate to go from yaris TB mounting flange to early XB mounting fplange-depends on orientationof intake in engine bay-I need to look at early Xb engine bay.
